This document discusses Life.Church's approach to web and mobile development. It advocates for using hybrid mobile app frameworks like Ionic, highlighting Ionic's benefits like using Angular, extensive documentation, analytics support, and large community. While hybrid apps can't match native speeds, Ionic allows developing cross-platform apps with one codebase. The document demonstrates an Ionic app and concludes that Ionic is a good option for churches and non-profits to engage more people on mobile.
